Warning: Your graphics device has encountered a problem

I have it also 99% of the time, when I open a msfs windows externally by ALTGR+left mouse click (like opening a PFD externally).

I have the same error but DXGI Unknown.

I too like the many also suffer from the DXGI Error. I have found that running the Sim at the “low-end” gives me no problems. I’m running a GTX 1070, 32G/Ram, AMD Rysen 7 2700x Eight Core Processor on a 2TB SSD. The moment I set the Sim to Medium I suffer the DXGI Error. This was not always the case. It would seem that this error started some 18 months ago in my case. My drivers are all up to date. I 9/10 fly the PMDG 738 with REX weather and Flyby wire FSLTL. I have tried all the current suggestions but am open to more. Is this a coding error that needs to be fixed by NVIDIA?
I am going to try the TDR Manipulator v1.2

I keep getting it while trying to use beyond ATC, it happens when I click in the beyond atc window then back into the msfs window I get the DXGI error. I’ve tried running beyond atc on top and even full screen then tab back and forth and I’m still getting it. So frustrating because I’m so excited to try beyond ATC but can’t use it.

That would make sense. I get it whenever I click on “View OFP” in Navigraph. dx12 doesn’t seem to play nice with some apps.

Second ever CTD. Fenix A320. Screenshot shows that the graphics card was perfectly healthy at crash. In the middle of nowhere Texas.

DX12 4090 552.22. SU15 obviously.

The DIXI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG 0x887a0006 error is generally related to GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) issues. This type of error can arise due to outdated graphics drivers, hardware problems, or software conflicts. Here are some steps you can follow to try to resolve this issue:

1. Update GPU drivers

  • NVIDIA: Go to the NVIDIA website and download the latest drivers.
  • AMD: Go to the AMD website and download the latest drivers.
  • Intel: Go to the Intel website and download the latest drivers.

2. Reinstall GPU drivers

  1. Uninstall current drivers:
  • Use the Device Manager in Windows.
  • Or use a third-party tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely remove old drivers.
  1. Reinstall drivers:
  • Install the latest version from the manufacturer’s website.

3. Check for Windows updates

Ensure your operating system is fully updated. Windows updates can include fixes for hardware and software issues.

4. Check power settings

Sometimes, power settings can affect GPU performance.

  • Go to Power Options in the Control Panel and make sure you are using a high-performance plan.

  • To unlock the Ultimate Performance power plan using CMD:

    1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    2. Enter the following command:
      powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
    1. Go to Power Options, and you should see a new plan called “Ultimate Performance.”

5. Test GPU stability

  • Use tools like FurMark or 3DMark to perform stress tests on your GPU and check its stability.

6. Check temperatures

  • Ensure the GPU is not overheating. You can use software like MSI Afterburner to monitor temperatures.

7. Check for software conflicts

  • Ensure there are no background programs interfering with the GPU.

8. Verify game file integrity

If the error occurs during the use of a specific game, verify the integrity of the game files from the platform you are using (Steam, Epic Games, etc.).

9. Try different graphics settings

  • Reduce the graphics settings of the game or application causing the error and see if the issue persists.

10. Check power supply

  • Ensure your power supply is adequate and functioning correctly.

11. Update DirectX

  • Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed on your system.

If the problem persists after following these steps, it might be helpful to contact the technical support of your GPU manufacturer or consider the possibility of hardware failure in the graphics card.

Started getting this problem last year having not used the sim for a few months. Installed the sim updates, tells me my graphics driver is out of date. Upgrade it as recommended, get this error. Go back to the previous version, same result. Tried changing the graphics card, same result. Reinstall the sim. Reinstall windows. Tried removing a memory stick, then another. Started getting problems on other games, such as Assetto Corsa. Tried graphics benchmarks in various configurations, got lots of strange glitches, inconsistent results each time.

My solution: new cpu. Since then, it hasn’t happened again

It is a memory issue, DX12 takes a lot of graphics memory and RAM. I turned down my texture resolution to medium and the problem was fixed for me. Not much visual degradation.

I use dx 11 why does it think i use dx 12 then

Please update to 535.98 To 536.98 Navida it says that when its on loading screen


This is all helpful but won’t solve your problem. try the following instead. Since November 2023 I no longer have any problems.

« Hi everyone, I told you about the problem with my video card which, although modest, gave me complete satisfaction until November 2022. Still this problem returning to the main menu and this famous message “your video card has a problem
etc. .”. I tried all the things that some of you recommended, low resolution, underclocking, removal of cash but to no avail. the problem comes from the access delay to the nvlddmkm system file but here is what I found: the solution is to use Tdr Manipulator and increase all the delays and not only that of Tdrdelay in the registry, attached the screen photo of my settings with Tdr Manipulator and for 5 days I no longer have any problems. please try it yourself and tell me what it does for you.

i did this still did not work sorry

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

i get the message at startup vids. Error: S_OK (0x0)

Are you using DX12?

i dont know , the sim always changes my settings after each update on its own

Are you using DLSS?

i dont know , the sim always changes my settings after each update on its own

My cpu and gpu are chill, just updated drivers and i got the same issue. Just installled 561.09 nvidia driver.

Is it really that hard to check in MSFS graphics settings?

You re right, i forgot to mention it happens when the startup vids are playing. So yeah its hard to check the setting cause the sim wont allow me to get there. I get kicked out before it loads the main menu. Will uninstall and reinstall when i have the time
